For sale Intrigue correction

Yahoo Message Number: 104764
Much to my surprise I have recently discovered that this coach, 2004 Intrigue 11740, that is for sale has 15,000 btu Dometic Penquin AC/ heat pumps instead of 13,500 btu as listed in previous posts. It came about as I had decided to replace a repaired AC shroud with a new one. The "behind the bathroom mirror" spec sheet from CC was wrong in the model number and it took awhile to figure things out. That sheet from CC also had the wrong model for the Hydro-hot. I guess I had better check everything else on that sheet. For those who asked for the specs on this coach, my apologies for the wrong info.

When CC could n't fit the 10 K genset under the nose for 3 airs on my coach as I ordered. I was to be the first one, they upgraded the airs from 13.5 to 15 K, and came up with the pull out drawer for the genset, which went into production in September of 03. I saw the first nose cap when I picked mine up at [home coming that year. As for the hydro hot I'll have to check and see for myself, too. Some times manufacturers up date stock or find more stock in a warehouse some where and as they do the same job, ship them anyway. If CC was lucky and observant, they probably got a deal. I know I had to wail almost 2 years before the control switches for the Hydro hot were updated with the LED indicators. The incandescent pilot lights were always burning out. Damons site will have when they went to bigger TV's. They added the vented engine access door, ala, Inspire and the 42 inch TV by the Spring 04 rally in Tucson, where they introduced the NEW Magnas and Affinity. TWI 200 4 Intrigue 11731.

So Lyle - Did the make another nice mistake and slide a ISM into that baby:)!

We found that our build sheet was accurate, where as our mirror label of components was off. We too have the 15K AC's (Two interesting factoids I stumbled across in regards to the 15K units. 1) Yep, 30K is better then 27K - about 11% more cooling capacity. 2) The energy draw of the 15K is lower then the 13.5K, so for those paying for shore power, a nice thing to know:)!

Our HyroHot was close to being accurate on the the mirror label, but was also off a bit. Unfortunately, not enough to get us the double element that many of the higher models of CC came with. Not the end of the world, but for sure a double element is better then the single... (Can really make a difference in the quietness of overnight heating. The double element can keep up with furnace heating demand down into the low 30's. Our single element does pretty good until down around 36-37, then we end up either turning on the radiant floor heating or freestanding electric heater to augment. (We prefer to not run the Diesel if we can avoid it, for both the noise avoidance, and not adding fumes to an RV park. That being said, at 6-8 degrees in the snow of British Columbia, we had the diesel fired up while dry camping. Kept us nice and toasty, and as we were on the edge of an ice covered lake by ourselves, did not impact anyone around us. Once we got coach and water hot in the AM, we'd put our Mr Heater on the low setting, and maintain a pretty comfortable temp.))

It's always nice to find you have something a bit better then you thought:)! Best,

Smitty

If you bought it used and in good shape things might of been replaced, but not updated on the sheet. Best to always double check against the actual part# on the item if you can find it. Ran into same problem with water heater.
